Given the damage caused by thrips observed since May on leaves and fruit in various citrus, persimmon and pomegranate crops and the confirmation of the presence of Scirtothrips aurantii Faure in certain areas, the following recommendations have been considered appropriate:
Fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata). Recommendations for farmers to achieve maximum effectiveness in fruit fly treatment.
In the various areas where Drosophila suzukii is being monitored, populations of this insect are being detected. Remember that attacks tend to be more intense and frequent at the beginning of the harvest, and treatment will be especially necessary in plots that were attacked in previous years and that left cherries unharvested last year (fly damage or cracking, lack of profitability, etc.).
The second generation of the plum moth has been seen flying between late May and early June in the Ribera and Val d'Albaida regions, and somewhat later in inland areas. Eggs will hatch this week and next. Treat accordingly.
Field Manual for the Prevention of HBL (Huanglongbing), a bacterial disease that affects the plant's vascular-phloem system and causes the death of citrus fruits: oranges, mandarins, lemons, grapefruits, limes, and other citrus fruits. Spread by insect vectors: Trioza erytreae and Diaphorina citri. Target organs: leaves, stems, roots, and fruits.
Poster with general information for preventing the bacterial disease HBL (Huanglongbing, greening, etc.), which affects the plant's phloem. The causative agent is the bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter spp.

The African psylla (Trioza erytreae) is a sucking insect of the order Hemiptera, belonging to the family Triozidae.
The potato flea beetle refers to several species of the Epitrix genus, which are primarily considered pests of potato crops, although they can also affect other Solanaceae crops such as peppers, tomatoes, and eggplants.
Scirtothrips dorsalis Hood, known as chili thrips, tea yellows, or flower thrips, is a harmful organism classified as a quarantine pest. It is an insect native to southern and eastern Asia and has a wide range of host plants (more than 150 species), including commercial crops such as beans, tomatoes, eggplant, cucumber, onion, and peppers.
Citrus blight, a very serious disease for our lemon trees.
This document sets out the measures to be taken against the fungus Plenodomus tracheiphilus (syn. Phoma tracheiphila), an organism regulated in the European Union (EU) by Directive 2000/29/EC, with the aim of preventing its appearance and, if it does appear, acting quickly and effectively, determining its distribution and combating it in order to prevent its spread and eradicate it.
This document sets out the measures to be taken against gastropod mollusc species of the genus Pomacea, a quarantine pest in Europe, with the aim of preventing their appearance and, if they do appear, acting quickly and effectively, determining their distribution and combating them with the aim of eradicating them.

Given the damage caused by thrips observed since May on leaves and fruit in various citrus, persimmon and pomegranate crops and the confirmation of the presence of Scirtothrips aurantii Faure in certain areas, the following recommendations have been considered appropriate:
R. hibisci is a polyphagous mealybug that feeds on the roots of potted plants, reducing the absorption of water and nutrients by the plant and even causing its death.
Fire blight is a disease caused by the bacterium Erwinia amylovora that affects various species of the Rosaceae family, including pear, apple, quince, and Japanese medlar trees. It was detected in Cantabria in 2011 and is considered an extremely harmful disease.
Mhytimna unipuncta is a defoliating caterpillar of meadows and corn, which causes damage of varying intensity, although it is increasingly common in Cantabria and in certain areas can cause some alarm among the population.
A sucking insect belonging to the Triozidae family. Commonly known as the African citrus psyllid, it is native to sub-Saharan Africa. It is widely distributed in Africa and to a limited extent in the Middle East and Europe. It was detected in Spain in 2002, in the Canary Islands, and in 2014 in the Iberian Peninsula, Galicia, and northern Portugal.
Defoliating beetle of American origin that owes its name to the ability of adults to jump when disturbed. It was detected in Europe in 2008, in Portugal. In Spain, it was detected in Galicia in 2009, and in Asturias in 2014. It is considered a quarantine organism due to the loss of commercial value of tubers.
